The difference is that on drug warnings, the side effect is listed because a patient experienced it, whether or not it had any relationship to the drug or not. I have friends who are researchers. They tell me some side effects that a sometimes listed pertain to other health problems the person had that nothing to do with the med but because they took the med at the time, it had to be listed. Take that issue and then compare it to the short, scarred, twisted dick. Those side effects seem to be common. I am sure many people have no issues so their non-issues are seldom brought up here. We mostly here about those who do have issues on FT and I would say they are easily 20%. Cohort is skewed in that sense but it does not mean it does not happen nor does it mean it is rare. I type in the word "problem" in the search box and get this: Search found 7839 matches: problem . Type in scarring and get : Search found 932 matches: scarring. Type in shorter and get: Search found 1183 matches: shorter. Infection = Search found 2222 matches: infection. Crooked= Search found 154 matches: crooked. Disappointed: Search found 507 matches: disappointed. Upset: Search found 254 matches: upset. Bad experience:Search found 709 matches: bad experience. By those measures, implanting is not infallible yet. Humans are highly variable as are the skills of the master surgeon or sausage maker that put them in. So are the products themselves. Pumps that may or may not work, cylinders and tubes that blow out and leak. Damn fool surgeons that cannot match the type of implant nor size to your body, and the inevitable that I dislike: Sales rep for one company in surgery one day of the week and sales rep for the other another day of the week and it's not the right day for the implant you SHOULD have had. While I am on a rant, what is this business of doctors that NEVER induce an erection before making a decision what they are going to put in your dick? Is this another level of let's go about it clueless? Cheers.
